About Quill & Brush, member ABAA

At the Quill & Brush, we specialize in first-edition literature, mystery/detective fiction & poetry, as well as offering collectible books in all fields. Our goal is to offer fine and interesting items at fair market prices. The Quill & Brush was officially founded in 1976 by Allen & Patricia Ahearn. For several years prior to founding Quill & Brush, the Ahearns issued catalogs as "Allen Ahearn, First Editions." Allen, a well-known book man and life-long collector, passed away in 2025. Patricia, a beloved and equally well-known book woman, passed in 2014. The firm is currently operated by their eldest daughter, Beth Fisher, who has over 30 years of experience cataloging and selling rare books. She was recently joined by her daughter, Ariana Lobasso, who is working her way towards taking over the long-time family business. Pat & Allen authored two well-known books on book collecting, COLLECTED BOOKS: THE GUIDE TO IDENTIFICATION AND VALUES and BOOK COLLECTING (a primer and price guide), as well as compiling over 200 individual "Author Price Guides." The fourth, latest edition of the COLLECTED BOOKS was edited and revised with the very able assistance of Beth. Together with Ariana, she hopes to revise and update her parent's invaluable reference works someday. ~ Please visit us on our website QBbooks.com ~
